Savage .375 Truck Gun - 10/14/20
So some time ago I bought this bit neglected .375 Win Savage Model 99. Someone had circumsized it.... at the naval! 16.5" barrel!!! Never fired it, never any ammo!
Several questions. First, nomenclature. It was sold to me under the term "Brush Gun". But is marked as "Model 99 Series A". Apparently the "A" was made longer and with a schnabel forend. Obviously this isn't with such forend! What do I have? Conerning the chambering, seems pretty useless! Perhaps to rebarrel and if so.. What? With the rotary mag and bolt head for .375... What else?
Otherwise, anyone see much of any use beyond "truck gun"? That barrel cut really did a number!
Got it on the cheap, which 'stuff', I'm sometimes (as here), a sucker!
Pix below.
Best & Stay Safe!
